Default Scored me a 2-fer!

Today I went and picked my car up from the dealership....they were doing a few things to the car under warranty. I got on teh highway to head back to work and coming up on the next exit, I see 2 brightly colored cars coming up from the on ramp. Takes me about 2 seconds to realize that they are both Mitsu EVO's, one yellow and pretty stock looking except for the fart can and the other was red, with a ton of carbon fiber on it. I was in the high speed lane and was going about 80 when the first one pulls up real tight on my rear bumper. The second one (red) pulls up on my right hand side and stays there. I feel like I'm in the god damn F&F, with lil buzz cans revving all around me. Needless to say I don't like these 2 fu**ers trying to mess with me especially since I did nothing to instigate it. I know the second I mash it, these boys are gonna run, so I drop into fourth real quick and just start pulling away from the yellow one like it was standing still. The red one hangs in there pretty well until about 120 and then it too drops back. I slowed down and waited for a few seconds expecting them to do a typical ricer fly-by. I looked over as they passed me but got justa simple head nod from both drivers. Dunno what either car had but at least the drivers seemed decent, not your typical pimply faced, sideway visor , pants 10 sizes too big, fake Gucci wearing punk kids who can't deal with the fact that their "almighty" import just got its *** handed to it. Oh well not too exciting but it livened up my lunch break. Made me happy to have my car back too.....I had a damn Buick Century as a replacement.

Thanks man....the red one definitely had some *****, but was way overdone on the carbon fiber thing.....I mean the trunk-lid, the spoiler, the hood and the front chin spoiler were all done in it. I'd like to find out what was done to it motor wise, considering how well it hung in there till a buck twenty.

Nice, I would imagine some better engine management, BC and more boost was what he had.

Thanks guys....CharlieCobra, I guess that's about right....he definitely had a bit more muscle than the other EVO so he must have at least the parts you named and an exhaust....damn thing was REAL loud.
